Dante's POV I was in my office alone. I had tried to call Erica but none of my calls were going through. I believe that she had blocked me. It enraged me and I slammed my fist on the table. I was about to push something off but I was silent. She was angry and she had every right to be. I knew that she loved me and I used it as leverage to lie to her, knowing that she would come. I sighed. I had used her and though we had intense s*x, I didn't cover the fact that I had lied to get her there. I stood up and paced around the room. Could she really blame me? I was crazy for her. Ever since I found out that she was the one representing her dad because of the gem, j hadn't been myself. It felt like something inside of me had changed. I had lost all interest in Laura and all I wanted
